Background: A dietary supplementation with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) was shown to attenuate inflammation and increase the proportions of circulating regulatory T cells (T) and M2-type macrophages in disease models such as autoimmune encephalitis and arteriosclerosis. Since T and anti-inflammatory (M2-type) macrophages were found to enhance stroke recovery, we hypothesized that CLA-supplementation might improve stroke recovery via immune modulatory effects.
Methods: Functional assessment was performed over 90 days after induction of experimental photothrombotic stroke in wild type mice ( = 37, sham = 10).
